Nathan Milstein, violin
Pittsburgh Symphony, conducted by William Steinberg
Dvorak and Glazounov violin concertos


"I feel a particular attachment to these two concertos for reasons with are not entirely due to the musical substance. The Glazounov is close to me because I performed it in my first public orchestra appearance as a child, under the direction of the composer. It was also the concerto which I played for my debut in the United States under Stokowski in Philadelphia in 1929. The Dvorák apeals to me first because its character, based on Slavonic background. Also, I feel that it has been unjustly neglected. Because o the quality of the music, the masterful writing for the instrument, this concerto deserves at least as much attention as some more frequently performed concertos. I am especially fond of the romanic second movement and the eloquently brilliant last movement." -
